The Poetry Corner 4+

Love the app!!!

I absolutely love the selection of poets the app has and really enjoy having instant access to so many poems at anytime on my phone!

Wish I could give this more than two stars

I've tried contacting the app developers of this app twice through their app support page and have been ignored both times. I am visually impaired but I'm a paying subscriber and I wanted to ask them to please include font size accessibility options for those of us who need it so we can increase the font size to comfortably read the poems and have a better user experience. Maybe their app support page isn't working but I couldn't find any other way to contact them so I'm resorting to a bad review. This is a nice app but I can't give it more than 2 stars since it's not user friendly for me and my feedback has gone ignored. I'd love to rate it higher if more accessibility features are added in the future, but if not I won't be resubscribing once my subscription expires.

EDIT: I’ve changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars since someone finally responded and said they’re working on a new app version with accessibility features. So just waiting for that for now :)

Don’t waist your time paying for public domain poetry

I understand that you need to make money to maintain things, but every single poem is locked.
If your going to make an app with 0 free content then make that clear so no one waist their time.
I can understand a one time fee but the fact that you’re trying to make people pay a monthly subscription for poetry that is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN makes your motive clear. You’re just using public domain literature to make a quick buck.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thanks for the feedback :) 

The app now includes poems that aren't just in the public domain. While some of the poems in the app can be found online, I personally found that poetry websites often had large ads, which detracted from the poems themselves. This is one of the main reasons I decided to build my own app, with one of the main features being a distraction-free design.

Aside from the poems, that are also collections, seasonal playlists and poet bios, all of which I create myself. This takes constant time, as there's a lot of poetry in the world :)

Sorry the app wasn't what you were looking for!
